Re: Community Content Rules and Format

What is it you are suggesting exactly? My post about only reviews was from back when someone was advertising their stream and/or website in this section. I can't remember exactly.

Reviews were the original intent for this section, but that doesn't mean it cannot evolve. What we would like however is for the content to be on this forum, so if someone posts reviews on their own site, they must copy them here. This is not a place to advertise a site to get hits.

Re: Community Content Rules and Format

Basically, my suggestion is to allow (it seems like you would) people to write other articles instead of just reviews. For example, I thought it might be fun to do some non-review articles such as writing about certain gaming trends, writing about my opinions on certain gaming issues, ect. It could be fun.

Re: Community Content Rules and Format

Yes, that's rather along the lines of what I thought. Rather than make it a reviews-only section, make it kind of an amateur-games-journalism section in general, with articles, perhaps embedded-into-the-page video reviews and assorted things?

Re: Community Content Rules and Format

Oh I see. That isn't a bad idea actually. As long as you adhere to the rules of the forum, and do not post trivially then I'd welcome your content.

Since this is the topic for it, I will explain what I mean by trivial. I expect more serious subjects, nothing like "Today's special at the school cafeteria" for example. What I would rather see is a detailed examination of the food quality available at schools across the country and how much of it is healthy, considering the so-called obesity epidemic.

While I'm here I added another rule to the first post.

Uh...there's a slight eensey problem with this. What if the title of the thing in question you are reviewing contains a variation of a swear word. It's not the swear word exactly but it changes one letter.

I'm still gonna make the review, but I won't censor it till I hear about this.
